Hence, if you randomly query the one server that is returning NXDOMAIN for com, all com lookups will fail.
This is why BIND 8 has the bogus characteristic, or why one may need to edit their root hint file. Too bad both require a reload/restart.
As well as manual configuration at every resolver on earth. I don't think that's a scalable solution. The root servers need to work. -- Shields.

Neither do I believe it is scalable, but it's what BIND has available. More to the point, the reason for the bogus characteristic, as I read the documentation, is that without it it's impossible to correct this kind of situation -- scalable or not -- if a nameserver's operation cannot be corrected.
